Out to Dinner

Bundled up and ready to go out to dinner
About a week ago, Nick and I decided to brave it and take Carter out to eat with us for the first time. (sort of weird that we had a babysitter so that we could go out to eat before we took him...no one said we were normal) Of course, we wanted to go somewhere that would be reasonably quick and where it wouldn't matter if the little guy fussed a bit. So...we landed at La Piedad, a Mexican restaurant not too far from our house. Generally, La Piedad is more fun when the weather is warm because it has a nice deck, but it is definitely not known for their atmosphere inside. However, it was a great place for novice parents to experience their first "dinner with child in a car seat." Carter was great. We bundled him up because it was pretty chilly, and he slept most of the time. Had he not behaved, I am not sure anyone in there would have noticed, because there were lots of other kiddos being much louder...Carter didn't mind, he just slept right on through.

We thought Clint,especially, would be proud that Carter's first dinner out was to a Mexican restaurant! He is learning to order-by-number early!

Glad the first "dinner in a car seat" went well! The mexican place is always a good bet for us too. He is a cutie pie! How's he sleeping???

he is sleeping very well! He goes down between 9-10 and sleeps until 7:00! I am very thankful!

I'm glad Carter is learning to like Mexican food! Also, I'm glad that he is learning not to stay up all night and be a "rock star" like his Uncle Steve--at least not yet!
